Our Mission: To ensure that the City stands by its promise to collaborate with neighborhoods proposed to be upzoned, to maintain each neighborhood's distinctive character and livability, while encouraging policies that accommodate increased density, achieve housing affordability, and social and racial justice objectives that benefit the whole city.

Major zoning changes are coming to Urban Villages throughout Seattle that will allow developers to build taller in exchange for "affordable housing." Seattle's growth is a fact and housing affordability is in crisis. However, we cannot support this one sided, one size fits all "Grand Bargain" without true neighborhood involvement to effectively manage growth.

We are appealing the MHA Final EIS because we want the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) analysis to include an honest assessment of the alternatives, impacts and possible mitigation, starting with displacement and loss of existing affordable housing, and going on to transportation, tree canopy and school capacity, etc.
